The Big Blade is a product of the pursuit of a continuous sensing blade style pickup whose sound is powerful, huge, and ballistically belligerent...something close to Nordstrand's Big Singles but a bit more modern in both tone and appearance. The blade's radius is designed for even output in most basses, which is analogously derivative of the uniform magnetic field that is sure to capture an accurate representation of each string's vibrational nature. This pickup is the Spartan of Nordstrand's discriminating pickup regiment; the sonic soldier who wages war against any tonal incongruities that might suggest vulnerability. If any band's thin, feeble-bodied, or indistinct mix dare cross its path, it will without a doubt be decimated by its unrelenting characteristics. Arm your bass today!

The Big Blades are a hot pickup with plenty of output. They have a punch that will help your bass stand out in the mix and be heard and felt. Compared with the Warm & Wooly version of this pickup, the Clean & Clear have a tighter sound that is simply brighter, with a snappy top end.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.

The Big Blade Warm & Wooly have some similarity to the Zen Blades, but are a bit punchier. A nice warmth, with a slightly rolled off top end, the mids are forward. This pickup was likely the hottest pickup in our soapbar demo tests.
